Tracey Schmitt Quotations

Whether she's a man or a woman is completely irrelevant. If some Democrats want to fall back on the gender card, that's their problem.

Mrs. Bush has an appeal than transcends partisanship, as well as an understanding of issues that resonate with those who might not otherwise be Republicans.

Mrs. Bush certainly has an appeal that transcends partisanship.

newfound interest in science is a derivative of his longing to travel back in time and run a cohesive campaign.

From his calls for retreat and defeat in Iraq to censuring the president, the senator is more consumed with his own political future than national security.

We are following the investigation closely and will take appropriate action should the situation warrant it.

Harry Reid's accusation that President Bush is playing politics with national security may earn him the title of hypocrite-in-chief.

John Kerry is either willing to endanger American forces on the ground or he really believes that ignoring the presence of terrorists is the best policy for the safety of America.

John Kerry deserves credit for continuing to take himself so seriously, despite the fact that no one else does.

I think the American people understand the threat we still face.

President Bush believes that the promise of Social Security fulfilled over the last 70 years ought to be a promise we keep for future generations. Scoring political points by shirking responsibility for tomorrow's seniors is not a birthday party Americans can afford to attend.

We continue to enjoy strong support from the financial community.

Voters elect candidates because they understand the issues rather than engage in leftwing fantasies.

When push comes to shove, the senator allows politics to trump principle every time.

While President Bush remains focused on defending Americans against those intent on doing us harm, John Kerry remains focused on attacking President Bush.

While President Bush maintains an unwavering commitment to rebuilding the Gulf Coast, Democrats remain just as committed to political posturing for short-term gain.

While the president works to protect Americans from terrorists, Democrats offer no solutions of their own.

There is nothing to indicate that those contributions reflect anything but support for the re-election campaign.

There is no indication that any of these individual contributors represent anything other than genuine support for the Bush-Cheney re-election effort. We are following the investigation closely and, if anything were to change, we would re-visit the matter.

San Francisco is a fabulous place, but most Americans don't take their political cues from the city by the bay.

As it stands, this is what we are returning.

Al Gore's incessant need to insert himself in the headline of the day is almost as glaring as his lack of understanding of the threats facing America.

There is widespread support from conservatives around the country,

It's become very clear in the last few months that Senator Clinton is someone who is more concerned with the state of her national standing than the state of New York, ... It's obvious that her efforts to reposition herself as a centrist are the result of her political ambitions rather than principle.

It's shameful that Democrats are so eager to exploit this national crisis that they revert to finger-pointing for political gain rather than talking about any solutions.

It's unfortunate that some Democrats would trade progress for partisanship to benefit their political ambitions. What our country doesn't need are Democrat leaders who promote a cut-and-run strategy in Iraq that hurts our ability to fight the war on terror.

Democrats will use any excuse to avoid offering the American people an actual agenda. They will go to great lengths to avoid talking about the substantive issues.

Does Hillary Clinton really want to talk about health care? The American people were pretty clear in rejecting a program that would have cost hard-working taxpayers billions of dollars.

It's hardly surprising that the Alliance for Justice would join PFAW and NARAL in their obligatory opposition to Judge Roberts. Nan Aaron first attacked Judge Roberts a mere 27 minutes after he was nominated and today's Alliance for Justice announcement is the continuation of a false smear campaign borne of a political agenda in lock step with the Michael Moore wing of the Democrat party. As the Senate Judiciary Committee prepares for the confirmation hearings next week, one can only hope that Democrats will choose to approach the hearings in a dignified fashion and reject the over-hyped attacks by the far left.

It seemed to be a speech more appropriate for a political hack than a presidential candidate by someone who clearly fails to recognize leadership. It was a contradiction within a contradiction.

Not only is Sen. Feingold's approach a disservice to those who work tirelessly to protect America, it sends the wrong message to our enemies.

By launching bitter, partisan attacks that ignore problems in his own backyard, Sen. Reid is emblematic of a minority party that is long on anger and short on substance.

Chairman Dean's outrageous comparison today between the United States and Iran is reckless and wrong. By equating the United States of America to an oppressive regime that promotes anti-Semitism, suppresses women and restricts free speech, Howard Dean continues to lower the bar for political discourse in this country. The question for Democrats is, do they stand beside their party chairman and his latest wild-eyed attack?

If Howard Dean's party wants to wage their campaign on angry attacks, that's their prerogative. President Bush and Republicans are going to instead act, and offer the American people solutions that will strengthen our economy and keep us safe.

This is more of the same from the party that opposes this president's effort to keep our country safe. The bottom line is while this president campaigns against the terrorists, Democrats remain focused on campaigning against this president.
